Ani Tsultrim's Memorial Ceremony, March 14, 3pm, at Vajra Dakini Nunnery

Dear Friends,


We gather Sunday March 14th at 3pm at Vajra Dakini to remember our beloved Ani Tsultrim. We will begin with prayers - a traditional 49th day ceremony, tell stories and conclude with a feast. Please bring vegetarian food to share.

When a family member dies it is considered most meritorious on the 49th day and beneficial to the loved one's fortunate rebirth, to make offerings to monastics, sponsor statues, paintings, lasting things that will generate merit for many beings. In this spirit, Vajra Dakini is starting the Ani Tsultrim Legacy Fund to fund and name a nun's room after Ani Tsultrim! Contributions can be made online or sent to PO Box 382 Bristol, VT 05443.
